    The DR8 seems to be a pretty fast Desert Buggy. Can't wait to watch you putting it through its paces. Enjoy. 👍👍

    Great video. I’ve had the same, the Reely version and paid 400 bucks. Electronics are real bad, tires with no grip at all. You need to invest at least a 100 to 150 bucks for a new servo and new tires.
    Servo hold up like an hour.
    All in all I wouldn’t recommend it. Get a arrma for the same price and just enjoy your rc.

    • @ReadySetRC
      @ReadySetRC  ปีที่แล้ว

      @whatsinthebox Thank you👍 Wow! But it's HW rebranded ESC and motor, can't be that bad. Tires are hard but they weren't that bad where I run my RC's. Servo is a little slow. I own almost every Arrma, looking for different manufacturers now😊

      @Chris Watson I'm hoping they restock. That shipping cost kept me away from it for at least a year now. They got to make it easier to distribute their lineup in the US. I got a few of their kits on my list.

    Hi Neil! I had to laugh when I saw the thumbnail because we both seem to love and be interested in a lot of the same vehicles 🤣I also had my eye on this vehicle for the last couple of years! I saw tomley have the ftx version and I was so impressed how great it ran for him and started looking for the different versions of it but I ran into to the same problem as you did. All of them I found were in Europe and the shipping killed it for my budget so congrats on scooping one up at that great price and I really hope that it turns out to be great! Everything I saw of it, looked similar to a losi but at a much lower price. I hope it really does perform great and turn out to be a great bargain for you! Congrats again brother! 💯 🤜 🤛 🔥 🔥 ⚡ ⚡ 😁 👍

      @Riff Raff's RC Hey Riff, what's up brother! Same here man. I've seen this thing all of Europe and always wanted one. I really wish they would get these over to the states at a great price. I've been eyeing some nice RC's from FTX, Reely and FSR.

    • @riffraffsrc

      @@ReadySetRC absolutely! FTX has some awesome models, a few of them have been sold by RGT and a few other re brands over here but some of them are only sold in Europe as far as I could find which is a shame because some of them look really great. One of them was the exact same chassis as the old redcat camo x4 buggy which I always wanted but unfortunately didn't get before they discontinued it. Their version was exactly the same with a different body on it but the brushless system and chassis looked the same just rebranded. Guy had one and really loved it, he drove the crap out of it 😂 he always said it was one of his favorite lower cost RC's. more brands being sold here is always a good thing I think. From what I understand they don't sell redcat over there so FTX kind of fills the gap for lower priced RC's that are great value. A lot of them that I saw on Tomley and other channels over there looked to be really nice for the money. 😁👍

      On it from my local shop and they are NICE! Got some diff oil because they feel empty. But havnt gotten into them yet. Also picked up a new servo. But I like it a ton. I just want a bit more droop, mind doing. A video? Again I’m new to the hobby

      @@MrShaaman6969 They must have sold out. I bought this back in Feb after looking over a year for a good price on it. It's one of those RC's thats going to be hard to get in the US. eBay has them too(Reely Raptor or FSR Atom) but the shipping is always insane.
